Holy matrimony is a christian term, believed to originate from the Catholic Church, as a blessing.

Marriage defined, is a joining of two opposites.

Our steel workers perform more marriages in one day, than a pastor could do in his life time.
The marriage of steel is performed by notching two pieces of metal, so they will interlock into place, before the weld is made. This technique is used to forever bond them.

The same goes for our brides and grooms. There is a locking mechanism that exist physically, but it is the spirital bond that keeps them together eternally.

Finally, there cannot be a marriage between similars. They can be attached, but never married.

Well when the courts stops printing "holy matrimony", on legal wedding certificates, and in it's stead, uses the term "Civil Union" I think I'll be fine with your argument. But when people use their religion as a reason why two person (for love or otherwise) can't form a legal bond, I have issue.

I'm fine you having your religious definition of marriage. I have my own, and It does not include bigotry.

That being said, I propose a LEGAL arrangement two consenting adults can enter into, from hear forth be called a "Civil Union." (with the same legal rights as a current Holy Matrimony), and leave the marring up to the church. Cause your pastor might not marry two dudes, but mine might.

My scheme also fits nicely into key ideas of this Nations founding, chiefly A person has a right to pursue their happiness, and be free from the laws of other peoples religion.

"That is not what the contitutuion says in regards to religion.
basically, no establihment, or interference."

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right
of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

We all know marriage is religious establishment. And... "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" As I have said my religion allows gay marriage. Feel free to get married if that thats what you want, such a arrangements are not something the government should be involved in.

Get married by a priest, let a Judge civilly unite you.

"It is unconstituional for a Judge to grant a divorce, to a couple married in a church."

Really? My Parents were married in a Church and divorced by a judge. I don't even know of a church that does divorces....
